PS3 flops in US (March) - what now?

[bdbdbd]

Looks like Nintendo pushed Wiis for Europe in march, because of the PS3 release. At least in here the quantities have been pretty big, since some stores had some consoles in the shelves (mosty in stores, that haven't sold Nintendo in few years). And they have had bigger quantities than what the supply was at it's release in december. The Godfather sold less than what i expected on Wii and PS3 both. But it's pretty old game anyway, PS2 owners have it on PS2 and propably new features aren't enough to get them buy the new version. Almost equal sales numbers of 3rd party games, between Wii and PS3, is propably because of wider usergroup of Wii (also the casual and non-gamer group have bought the Wii, if it's happened to be available in stores). How does Kororinpa sell? If it's pretty much equal with Godfather, then the usergroup for both games is equal for Wii. And, PS3 doesn't come with a game, so you have to buy one if you want to play. Usually people buy a game, when they are tired of playing the old one and this could take a month or two, and for casual gamers even more. PS3 sells one game for one console sold, but Wii doesn't sell even that one game (this is just a principle). For example, Viva Pinata, it didn't sell too well (at least what i know), despite of no competition and wide userbase. It just weren't a game for 360s targetgroup. The PS2 sales could look pretty strange, but looking at kids in stores bargaining their parents to buy them a console, they usually give an option (this is what i have noticed) to buy "console X" or PS2 (which "all" their friend have). So when given this option, parents looks at the price, Wii (if available) 270 EUR, 360 Core about 300 EUR and PS3 around 690 EUR, when PS2 is 160 EUR. So Sony gets to sell lot of PS2:s to the first console buyers. Sony after all rules the kids market with PS2 and there are a lot of kiddy games for PS2. Also Guitar Hero, Singstar and Buzz are pretty good games for the non-gaming audience. And then there are the people who reason PS2 as a cheap console with lots of cheap games. PS2 IS pretty good deal at the moment.
